Sen De La

The Rise of the Nine Dragons – Shadows Over Southeast Asia is an epic tale of a group of individuals facing the looming threat of a powerful organized crime syndicate, the Nine Dragons Syndicate, which holds a tight grip over the economy and politics of Southeast Asia. The story follows the journey of Bintang, a former journalist, and Sebastian, a time traveler, as they confront the cunning tactics and dark forces led by influential figures like Tian Hao and Yun Feng. 
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Jakarta and Indonesia's new capital (IKN), the core conflict revolves around political ambition, environmental crises, and economic manipulation. The tension arises as personal political agendas clash with the greater good, forcing Bintang and his team—comprising a former hacker, a diplomat, an environmental activist, and a conservation officer—to battle not just for justice but for the future of their land. Together, they face an enemy that wields not only power and wealth but also the ability to disrupt the natural balance.
At the same time, we have Heru, a character-driven by revenge and the pursuit of scientific advancements. His motivations create a tension-filled dynamic within the narrative, adding depth to the ongoing conflict between Bintang's team and the Nine Dragons.

“This isn’t just a station,” Kiran muttered under his breath, scanning the walls for any sign of movement. “This whole place… it’s a fortress.” 


Felix nodded, his hand gripping his weapon tightly. “A place to hide a weapon, a place to plan. We’re getting close.” 


At the end of the narrow hallway, Mayang came to an abrupt stop, her senses sharp. She reached out, her fingers brushing against the cold steel door that stood before them. There was something different about this door—no dust, no decay. It was too well-kept as if it were guarding something far more important than just a typical control room.
